Meet Leigh Achenbach | Owner/Professional Organizer

We had the good fortune of connecting with Leigh Achenbach and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Leigh, what do you attribute your success to?
The most important factor behind the success of Suddenly Simple Organizing is the quality of service that our team delivers every single time. It has been our mission from the beginning to treat each client as if they are our only client. We spend so much time in preparation for each session – discussing the client’s wants and needs, shopping for product, and creating a plan of action. And when their session day comes, they have our full time and attention while on the job. Our dedication to a high quality service and attention to detail is why clients choose to have us back time and time again.

What should our readers know about your business?
My business has been a consistent and steady progression because I have been consistent and steady since the beginning. I invested two years into preparing to open my own business. While I was learning and planning my own business, I was also working in the field for multiple companies to learn the ins-and-outs of the industry and develop my own methods and values for the business I wanted to create.

One of the things I take the most pride in with my business is the patience and persistence I have had. I think one of the reasons that Suddenly Simple has been successful is that I have always seen this as a long-term effort. I wasn’t looking for a get rich quick type of job, I was looking for a career that not only would allow me to contribute financially to my family, but one that I loved and was passionate about. I thrive when I have goals that require dedication, time, and hard work. By creating my own business and being my own boss I am able to capitalize on my drive and work ethic to reach those goals and keep creating new ones.

As the years go by, seeing the growth gives me encouragement and momentum to keep going. I have learned so much in my 7+ years in this field especially when it comes to hiring the right people. This business would not be what it is without the people behind the brand. Hiring trustworthy, hard-working people who are in line with the brand and the vision is the key to a successful business.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
As a mom of two toddlers, I am a little out of touch with things to do in the city. These days a trip to the grocery store by myself is like a little getaway. But if I had someone coming in town to visit, I feel like you have to go to Broadway in downtown Nashville. Between a concert at the Ryman and the honky-tonks downtown it would be a fun time! A picnic at Arrington Vineyards would be a little more up my alley though!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would like to dedicate my shoutout to my husband who has believed in me since the day I came to him with the idea of starting a business in a field I had never worked in a single day. If it wasn’t for his support and encouragement I don’t think I would have had the courage to do any of this. He was just as excited as I was when I discovered the organizing world. He loves that I am so passionate about my work, and he takes on so much at home and with our family so that I can continue living out my dream job.
